Elements are separate particles that contain the properties of only one type of element (pure substance) and an atom represents that element as the smallest non divisible particle that retains the properties of that element. Compounds can be formed by conjoining different atoms together in different ratios and shapes, so a combination of elements.
Answer:
The correct option is e
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction/bonding that are formed between an electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine) and a hydrogen atom. They are weak intermolecular bonds compared to covalent bonds but account for the high boiling point of water because of the strong hydrogen bond presence between the water molecules. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds between each other; since an oxygen atom (in a water molecule) has two lone pairs on it's outermost shell, it forms an hydrogen bond with two hydrogen atoms of other water molecule. Due to the fluidity of liquid water molecules, hydrogen bonds keep getting broken (although recreated/formed almost immediately), hence, individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water does not exist for long.
In the explanation above, it was stated that the strength of the hydrogen bond in water is the reason for it's high boiling point. The atoms in a water molecule are bent NOT linear hence the strength of hydrogen bond does not depend on the linearity of the atoms involved in the bond.
Answer:
Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction or a physical transformation
Explanation:
The atoms of the solid have to form a crystalline structure, which means that they have an ordered configuration that is the same throughout the entire solid.
